Genesis Card Show — Dec 5, 2026

Genesis Card Show is a Las Vegas trading card show built around low prices and family-friendly fun, with room for collectors of all ages to browse, buy, sell and trade. The December 2026 edition is a two-day show with more than 550 tables at the World Market Center, and the series has also run at a casino hotel in Las Vegas.

What you'll find on the floor

The December show is large: more than 550 tables across two days, with vendors split between sports and TCG sellers. Hourly giveaways run through the day, and attendees enter by filling out a form at the show. A grand-prize drawing follows in the afternoon, with announcements between 2 and 2:45 PM telling entrants to collect their raffle ticket at the giveaway booth. Winners must be present for their drawing, and a prize is held for 20 minutes before another ticket is pulled. Prizes are donated by passport vendors. A passport challenge, a collect-from-vendors game, is paused while the organizer reworks it.

Dates and admission

The December show runs Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM, at 475 S. Grand Central Parkway. General admission opens the doors at 11 AM, and an early access VIP ticket gets in at 10 AM. Buying online speeds entry, and prices are the same online or at the door for a one-day general ticket.

The two-day general ticket stops selling the evening of Saturday, and VIP sales online close the night before the show.

Vendor tables and rules

For the December show, a standard six-foot sports table is $225 for the weekend, with sales tax included. A two-day display case rental is $30, and electricity is $200. A premium table and a standard TCG table were also offered, but both are sold out, and the sports tables were running low. Vendors who miss out can join a waitlist, stating how many tables they want, what they sell (sealed, TCG or sports) and whether they can take a last-minute cancellation.

The rules are detailed:

• Check-in is Saturday between 7 and 9 AM. Anyone not checked in by 9 AM waits in the lobby until the VIP line has been let in.
• Every vendor and team member shows photo ID at check-in and wears a vendor badge, which only vendors may hold.
• Vendors must be ready for customers by 9:30 AM both days and stay open until 5 PM before breaking down.
• Subletting a table requires approval at least 14 days before the show. Unapproved subletting can mean cancellation, removal and suspension for both parties, with no refund.
• Vendors may not sell food or drinks, and anyone caught with counterfeit, stolen or tampered product is permanently banned.
• Gambling, games of chance, spin wheels and paid raffles are prohibited under Nevada law. Speakers need approval, and no firearms or weapons are allowed.
• Displays and shelving must not block neighbors' sightlines, fire doors, exits or walkways. Table placement requests are considered but not assured.
• Vendors are responsible for state and local sales tax and business licensing rules, and for protecting their own stock against theft. If a theft is witnessed, vendors should alert a team member or event security rather than confront the person.

Table fees are non-refundable. A vendor who cancels more than 30 days out receives full credit toward a future show. Cancelling inside 30 days brings credit minus a $25 administration fee per table, and credit expires after twelve months. A no-show receives no credit and may be banned from future shows. Credit is issued only if the table can be resold.

History

The show's March 7, 2026 edition was held at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino. The December edition moves to the World Market Center, a much larger floor with more than 550 tables. Discounted hotel rates are arranged for the December dates. The organizer is also collecting votes on where to travel next, with Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, Atlanta and Miami among the candidates.

Getting there

The World Market Center is at 475 S. Grand Central Parkway in Las Vegas. The venue is wheelchair accessible, with step-free entry points and accessible restrooms, and designated accessible parking sits close to the entrance. Service animals are welcome if harnessed or leashed. Anyone needing accommodations such as ASL interpretation or mobility assistance should contact the organizer ahead of time.

Total Eclipse Card and Collectibles Show is about 2.5 miles away, with its next date on November 15, 2026. Las Vegas Card Show is about 3.3 miles away, next on January 16, 2027. Ultimate Sports Cards and Memorabilia is about 2.8 miles away, and several comic shops sit within roughly 3 miles.

Who it suits

The show fits collectors who want a very large floor at a low entry price, families who want a show with giveaways and a friendly tone, and vendors who sell sports or TCG product and can commit to two full days. Vendors should note that tables sell out and that the cancellation terms are strict.
